The Gorge Amphitheatre on Sept 16-17

In just one week, Above & Beyond will host the 250th episode of their celebrated “Group Therapy” radio show, live from The Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State. With only a handful of tickets remaining, the two-day event will see 25,000 fans descend on The Gorge for a line up full of talent from the band’s Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep imprints, broadcasting worldwide via a livestream and over FM/Satellite radio.

Leading into ABGT250, “My Own Hymn” – out today on Anjunabeats – sees Above & Beyond reunite with long-time collaborator, Grammy-Nominated singer/songwriter Zoë Johnston. As always, quality songwriting is at the forefront, with lyrics that speak to the soul. Debuted last weekend at New York City’s Electric Zoo Festival, “My Own Hymn” is sure to be an emotional set highlight when Jono, Tony and Paavo play it amidst the natural beauty of The Gorge. Check out the official lyric video here

“My Own Hymn” is an ode to compassion, forgiveness and celebration of the self. It’s about climbing out of suffering. Most of us have the freedom to make choices in life. We can choose to alter our perceptions, especially if they are proving harmful to our souls. We can also choose to ignore the perceptions of others if they are causing damage or doubt. If the songs containing other people’s scripts don’t ring true, we can write our own hymns of kindness, to celebrate the good in us, and make a decision to tip our chins to the sun again.” – Zoë Johnston

Group Therapy 250 takes place on Saturday, September 16 at The Gorge Amphitheatre Mainstage and features performances by Above & Beyond, Genix & Sunny Lax, Luttrell, Oliver Smith, Seven Lions & Jason Ross and Yotto. Sunday, September 17 offers a change of pace as Jono, Tony and Paavo hand over the reigns to Anjunadeep, the trio’s highly respected Deep House imprint. A more chilled, Sunday afternoon vibe will flow through The Gorge Meadow with music from Above & Beyond (yoga set), 16 Bit Lolitas, Eli & Fur, Jody Wisternoff & James Grant, Moon Boots, Yotto & Luttrell. As an added bonus, fans camping at The Gorge on Friday, September 15 will also be treated to a preview screening of a film of Above & Beyond’s recent acoustic performance at The Hollywood Bowl, taking place at The Gorge Meadow from 8pm.

Can’t make it to ABGT250 in person? Both days will be streaming live via Twitter, presented by T-Mobile as part of the Live Nation Concert Series. Head to aboveandbeyond.twitter.com (USA only) or ABGT250.com/live (rest of world) to join Above & Beyond’s global dance floor on Saturday, September 16th from 5PM Pacific Time and Sunday, September 17th from 12pm Pacific Time. As always, you can be part of the livestream using the hashtag #abgt250.

“T-Mobile has a history of helping us make our events extra special for fans and Twitter has always been at the heart of our ABGT broadcasts so it’s a natural fit to partner with them on the livestream. We’re happy that we can bring this experience to our fans who will not be able to join us in person at The Gorge.” – Above & Beyond

Just days before fans from over 40 countries around the world converge on The Gorge for ABGT250, Above & Beyond play a sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, adding another world famous venue to the band’s ever-expanding bucket list of headline slots, which already includes sold-out performances at The Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden, Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall, Alexandra Palace, London and Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.

While known to be a spiritually igniting experience, you will be able to engage in yoga, self-help, spiritual guidance, and educational workshops in designated areas while attending the very diverse festival. There will be live art, healthy food, clothing vendors, as well as art installations to admire. You will also be able to get the best view of the festival by hopping into a hot air balloon with a trained guide and elevate your experience by soaring freely over the festival grounds! How awesome!

Along with all of the awesomeness; it wouldn’t quite be a festival without the music. This year Symbiosis is bringing in a wide variety of talented artists from around the world to serenade our tune-hungry ears. Dropping the biggest lineup of the summer; O.E. will feature over 300 acts across 7 different themed stages. We couldn’t be more excited to see Bassnectar, STS9, Minnesota, G Jones, Eprom, Zeke Beats, Lee Foss, and SO MANY MORE! Check out the lineups for the 7 unique stages below!

Check out the playlist we put together of sets from some of the artists above.

What makes O.E. even more awesome is the integrity behind the festival. It is a mutual understanding to everyone involved that this festival is a leave-no-trace event. Meaning we agree to do no harm to the environment and anything we bring with us, we take with us when we go, much like some of the other festivals mentioned above. There’s an unspoken general understanding to respect the beautiful site in which the event will be held. It definitely contributes to the overall atmosphere and energy of the festival.

On the Monday of the total solar eclipse, all stages will fall silent as we become one and observe the cosmos align. The festival location is along the ‘best view’ path of the solar eclipse, giving you the opportunity to take full advantage of this spiritually moving, phenomenal experience. This will be the first Total Solar Eclipse seen in the continental US since 1979.

While the festival has been sold out for quite some time, they are releasing a final tier of tickets to you last minute planners on July 17th!

Our favorite time of year has returned – where the sun’s hot, drinks are cold and Splash House returns to Palm Springs. For the fifth year, Splash House is back in action for two weekends this summer. Sadly, you already missed one of them (June 9-11), but don’t you worry your pretty little heads – the next one is just about a month away, August 11-13.

As expected, the pool party lineups are not ones to miss. Attracting dance music fans out to the desert, the festival will be highlighted by performances from top artists such as Big Gigantic, Bonobo, Hot Chip, Kaytranada, Thomas Jack, Anna Lunoe and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy.

If that wasn’t enticing enough, after you’re done collecting the cosmic rays all day, many attendees cite the performances at the Air Museum as some of the festival’s best. This year featuring an extended set from James Murphy, SOFI TUKKER, Classixx, Malaa and more.

Per usual, the 21+ festival will be popping off at the Renaissance, Saguaro and Riviera hotels during the days, with official after parties at the Palm Springs Air Museum during the nights.

Alright, I’m sold. How can I make this happen?

Great question. Starting at ~$220 per person, hotel packages are offered at all three of the host venues – and they’re totally the way to go if you want the full experience, since they also include weekend tickets to the pool parties.

If you’d prefer a crash pad elsewhere, festival tickets alone start at $125 per weekend for the main events and $40 for the Air Museum after parties – or better yet, all the above for $160. Visit www.splashhouse.com for the goods.

Check out the flyer below (with the latest artist additions!) and get even more excited by watching the highlight reel from last year’s festivities.
